Anyone that knows Kentucky music or thumbpicking has heard of Eddie Pennington. This past weekend they had their annual festival in Princeton, Ky where Eddie lives and I took a short road trip, about 30 miles, on Saturday to hear Eddie and his family play. Of course I wasn’t disappointed as I’ve been a fan of him and his music ever since I attended my first concert in the woods at his farm. We at the paper have done several stories on him and so we’ve know each other probably almost as long as the 17 years I’ve been working for The Messenger Newspaper in Madisonville, Ky.

Anyway, I made my way there yesterday afternoon and shot several video clips with my Nikon D800 that I’ve strung together into a 30 min video that I’ve posted below that I thought our viewers would enjoy.
